Specifications

Notes

• The above values are strictly rough guides.

• Variations in the available recording time will arise as there may be differences in the available memory depending on the card.

• Caution is required, since the differences in the available recording time will increase when the bit count and bit rate are low.

• Available recording time may be shorter if many short recordings are made (The displayed available recording time and recorded time are approximate indications).

• The maximum capacity for a single file is limited to approx. 4 GB for WMA and MP3, and approx. 2 GB for Linear PCM format (WAV).

• For WMA format files, the file length for a single file is limited to a maximum length of approx. 26 hours and 40 minutes. For this reason, it will differ from the continuous recording time for a single file.

Insertion des piles

Appuyez sur le touche de dégagement

du couvercle du logement des piles, puis faites glisser le couvercle pour l’ouvrir en appuyant légèrement dessus.

Glissez le commutateur

dans la direction indiquée par la flèche, et allumez-le.

POWER/HOLD

Préparatifs

Insérez deux piles AA en respectant

les polarités = et -.

Fermez complètement le couvercle du

logement des piles en appuyant dans la direction A puis faites glisser dans la direction B.

• Si le témoin « heure » clignote à l’affichage, voir « Réglage de l’heure et date [Heure&Date] » (☞ P.15).

Remplacement des piles

L’indicateur de capacité des piles sur l’affichage change avec la perte de capacité des piles.

• Quand [ ] s’affiche, remplacez les piles le plus tôt pos sible. Lorsque la pile est trop faible, [

] et [Alim. Faible] s’af fiche et l’enregist reur

s’ éteint.

Batterie Ni-MH rechargeables

Vous pouvez utiliser des batteries Ni-MH rechargeables B-01 4PE (options) Olympus dans l’ enr eg ist re ur. Uti li sez- le s av ec l e c harg eu r de batteries rechargeables Olympus B-90SU (options) (pour les États-Unis et le Canada) ou BU-90SE (options) (pour l’Europe) (☞ P.8 2).

Insertion des piles

Remarques

• Il est déconseillé d’utiliser une pile manganèse dans cet enregistreur.

• Cet enregistreur n’accepte pas les batteries rechargeables.

• Lors du remplacement des piles, des piles alcalines AA ou des batteries Ni -MH recharge-

ables Olympus sont recommandées.

Préparatifs

• Assurez-vous d’arrêter l’enregistreur avant de remplacer les piles (☞ P.13). Le fait de décharger les piles lorsque l’enregistreur fo nc tion ne pe ut cau se r un dysf on ctio nn eme nt , corrompre les f ichiers par exemple. Si les piles sont épuisées pendant que vous enregistrez un fichier, vous perdrez votre fichier actuel parce que l’en-tête du fichie r ne pourra pas se fermer. Il est donc de toute première importance que vous remplaciez les piles lorsqu’il ne reste plus qu’un repère dans l’icône des piles.

• Si le remplacement de la pile usée prend plus 15 minutes ou si la pile est retirée puis remise en place plusieurs fois à intervalles courts, il vous faudra peut-être remettre l’appareil à l’heure au chargement d’une nouvelle pile (☞ P.15) .

• Retirez les piles si l’enregistreur doit rester inutilisé pendant une période prolongée.

• Lors de la lecture d’un fichier vocal/musical, l’enregistreur peut se réinitialiser suite à une réduction de la sortie de tension de la pile en fonction du niveau de volume même si

] s’affiche dans l’indicateur de capacité

[ de la pile. Dans ce cas, diminuez le volume de l’enregistreur.

Utilisation de l’adaptateur secteur

Branchez le transformateur (options) sur une prise de courant domestique et branchez la fich e d’ali mentation s ur la prise d’alim entation de l’enregistreur (DC 5V). Éteignez toujours l’enregistreur avant de le brancher. Si vous branchez le transformateur pendant un enregistrement utilisant les piles, la lect ure des données audio enregistrées pourrait s’avérer impossible.

• Consultez le site web d’Olympus en ce qui concerne les adaptateurs secteur pouvant être utilisés avec cet enregistreur.
